GCSE is a demanding course which requires a diverse range of skills from its students.
To succeed in this subject, you will need to be highly motivated, and have the
ability to work independently (and also with others!)
It goes without saying, that a fair degree of prior practical Dance experience is
needed if you are to get the most out of this course!
Students are required to wear the correct Dance kit.
As part of this course, you will perform regularly both in front of your fellow
students and to a wider, public audience.

 Who is it for?
Students don't need any formal dancing experience! Whether young people are totally
new to dance, have had some classes or are already committed dance students, they
should be enthusiastic, show considerable potential and be interested in finding
out whether a career in dance is form them. We are looking for young people who
are musical, strong and energetic with good co-ordination and the desire to express
themselves through movement.
